Strong winds and rains cause cancellations and closures across the Maritimes
Environment Canada issued a Les Suêtes Wind Warning for Inverness County, N.S. on Friday. Southeasterly gusts up to 100km/h are expected in Margaree Harbour to Bay St. Lawrence throughout the day but expected to slow down at night. Environment Canada warns the winds could cause injuries or damage, saying drivers should be cautious and prepare to make alternate routes due to diminished driving conditions. Rain and high winds have also caused several ferry cancellations across the Atlantic region, including: the Marine Atlantic ferry between Syndey, N.S. and Port aux Basques, N.L. the Northumberland ferry between Wood Islands, P.E.I. and Caribou, N.S. the CAT ferry between Bar Harbor, ME and Yarmouth, N.S. Sports fields in Charlottetown were closed for the day and the Confederation Bridge speeds have been reduced. CTV Atlantic meteorologist Kalin Mitchell says thunderstorms and wet weather are expected to continue into the weekend. But fast-moving winds will prevent rain from staying in one area for too long.
